[Med] Let me reformulate it then. When looking at 
"https://www.iana.org/assignments/ospfv2-parameters/ospfv2-parameters.xhtml#extended-prefix-tlv-flags";,
 I see that three flags were assigned out of 8. So, when new flags are being 
proposed,

(1) Should we allocate the remaining flags in the main TLV till exhaustion and 
then use the PAF sub-TLV 

Or

(2) Should be selective in future usage that will be elected to use the main 
flags vs. PAF sub-TLV

As a side note, It would be helpful if the IANA registry indicate the 
unassigned flags. Not sur

[Med] Glad to hear that. My comment is to anchor the possibility to allocate 
multiple bits for one single usage in the base spec.

[Med] I wasn't referring to individual flags themselves, but the actual use of 
the sub-TLV at the first place. The approach in rfc8362#appendix-A is what I'm 
looking for.
